  1. Well, without a picture it is hard to tell.  I would say that it was a black widow, but you said that there are no markings.  Try to see underneath its abdomen.  If there is a red or orange hourglass like marking on its underside, then it is a black widow.  They are very poisonous.  

    If it has no red or orange markings on its underside, then it may be a cob spider.  They are harmless.  Here are a couple of links to pictures of each.


  2. Here are some links -

  3. Find a dichotomous key for spiders.  That's the best way to identify any species.

    I found one here (its a PDF document):

    It's not exactly exhaustive, but it may point you in the right direction.

  4. this is a quiet appreciative question well!!!!!!! spider has 8 limbs arranged on either side of the small tangled mass of the spider ...brownish black in colour............and is incapable of flying...........
